Item - 2026.TE34.61

The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that:

1. City Council refuse the application for the Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment (Application 25 151892 STE 12 OZ) for the lands municipally known as 120 Eglinton Avenue East for the reasons identified in the report (June 11, 2026) from the Acting Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District.

2. In the event that the application is appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal, City Council direct the City Solicitor and appropriate City staff to attend the Ontario Land Tribunal in opposition to the current applications regarding the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment appeals for the lands at 120 Eglinton Avenue East and to continue discussions with the applicant in an attempt to resolve outstanding issues.

3. City Council authorize the City Solicitor and other appropriate City staff to take any necessary steps to implement City Council’s decision, including requesting any conditions of approval that would be in the City’s interest, in the event an appeal of City Council’s decision is allowed by the Ontario Land Tribunal, in whole or in part.

This Report recommends refusal of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit a 70-storey (219-metre, excluding mechanical penthouse) mixed-use building, with a residential gross floor area of 32,625 square metres, 555 dwelling units, and 187 metres of non-residential gross floor area at 120 Eglinton Avenue East. The application does not propose to replace the existing 5,475 square metres of office space.

An Official Plan Amendment is required because the project does not meet the mandatory 100 per cent replacement of existing office gross floor area on the site, as no office replacement is proposed. 

The proposal does not conform with the Official Plan and does not have appropriate regard for policies within the Yonge-Eglinton Secondary Plan.
